Sparking sound during cranking

[Jonpaul0104]

Yesterday morning at my house MSCP, encountered a Wish owner who is cranking the car but car did not start. Only can hear sparking sound from engine compartment

 

I asked hm whether the gear is in P mode and he said yes....

 

At night when I returned, the car is still in the same parking lot....

 

What could be wrong with it? Starter motor?

 

Me just trying to be helpful.....

It's either problem with the ignition system ie sparkplug not firing OR problem with the fuel system ie fuel pump not working.

Could be the battery totally flat after a no of crank by the driver.

Battery could be flat!

Spark plug lead from the coil cracked and shorting to ground? Listen and locate where the sound is coming from.

since there is sparking sound, i guess spark plug or spark plug cable, or somewhere loose ... just guessing ...

usually when battery died, you can still hear cranking sound in the initial few cranks then it will totally have no sound....but for this case, it is a sort of sparking sound....

first possibility that comes to mind is the battery

With these type of feedback there are more than 101 possiblities. Don't waste yr time trying to crack yr brain.

Jump spark or arcing.

 

Ignition system problem.
